What happens when a baseball superstar switches teams, shaking up the sport's financial landscape? Join us as we explore the seismic shift in Major League Baseball with Juan Soto’s jaw-dropping $765 million move from the Yankees to the Mets. We share our personal feelings on this epic transition and compare it to the dynastic ambitions of the Dodgers, drawing intriguing parallels to the Golden State Warriors' era. With a nod to Shohei Ohtani's global impact, we sprinkle in stories from Yankee Stadium that highlight the fervent rivalry between Yankees and Mets fans, all with an eye on the unique financial dynamics that make big contracts possible in a league without a salary cap.
Taking a turn from sports to the skies, we address the frustration of airline pricing strategies. From surprise fees at budget airlines like Spirit to the mental challenges of flying, especially in turbulent weather, we offer personal anecdotes that reveal the highs and lows of modern air travel. To round out our discussion, we shift to the bustling real estate market of Long Island, where competitive pricing and dropping interest rates are causing a frenzy among buyers. The excitement of open houses and the potential for properties to sell above asking price underscores the dynamic strategies required to succeed in today’s market. Tune in for a compelling blend of sports, travel, and real estate insights that promises to keep you engaged and informed.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome to Sudo with Baez podcast and I'm here with
Angelo Baez, the co-host.
And I'm Alex Baez.
And what an interesting week.
First holidays around thecorner again, yeah.
But damn, Juan Soto man, I ampissed.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
What happened with Juan Soto?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
To be honest with you .
So, juan Soto, you know he cameto the Yankees for a year.
I knew that was going to happen.
To be honest, he came for ayear, he was traded from the
Padres to the Yankees and hesigned the biggest contract
right now, and that will be morethan Even contract right now,
and that will be more than Evenbigger than Ohtani, Unbelievable
.
You know.
I'll be honest with you, Iwould have let him go.
(00:49):
I'm happy the Yankees let JuanSoto go Because you know, with
all respect, I don't think theguy is worth that money.
His outfield is not the best.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
His batting.
You know he does his thing, buthis outfield he's not worth it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
To be honest with you , I mean the Mets man.
Shout out to that Mets owner.
I know he's a billionaire, he'snuts.
Yeah, how much is it?
$765 million for 15 years.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And I believe our coworker, Chris, was saying that
he had a sign-up bonus orsomething like that.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
For $75 million.
Wow, I'll be honest with you.
I see the Mets.
They're trying their best.
They're never going to takedown the Dodgers.
It's one of the hardest teamsto take down to Dodgers.
Right now, they look likethey're going to be the head of
that movie for some time.
Right now.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
They're going to be like a little dynasty forming.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
They're like the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Remember when the Warriors was the dynasty.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Every year they were going to the finals.
That's what I see in theDodgers.
I honestly I'm happy theYankees let him go.
Of course he was a big help,right, did a lot of home runs.
I think he did over 40 homeruns, but he was not worth $765
million.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I heard that Aaron Judge he actually declined a
higher offer to stay with theYankees at one point he's a real
Yankee man.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
He's got to be a Yankee man, die hard Yankee fan
man.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'll be honest.
You said that when you went toYankee Stadium one time, they
went crazy with the liquor andeverything.
Yeah, that's one thing, yankeeStadium man, you guys go in
there.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't suggest bringing your kids, especially
if it's a big time game, like aplayoff game, like a playoff
game, or, you know, yankeesversus Red Sox, yankees versus
Mets, like those games areintense.
Don't bring your kids aroundbecause you know Yankee fans.
They go nuts with these beers.
They just start throwing iteverywhere.
It's funny, right, but thensometimes you just want to watch
(02:40):
the game and just be relaxed,you know.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, not covered with a bunch of alcohol
everywhere.
And you said that you also,heidi.
She's a Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, my wife, she's confused.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I've been trying to help her out with this big issue
.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Heidi has with these Mets.
She's confused.
I always tell her that.
That's the bad thing in myhousehold.
My kids are confused.
So, levi, one day he says theYankees, one day he says the
Mets.
And I always get mad at him.
I'm like don't ever say thathere You're a Yankee fan.
We're Yankee fans, hardcore,but I'm happy the Yankees let
him go.
Yankees should start reallyfocusing on free agency.
Start picking up players.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Pitchers right.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Pitchers, first baseman.
I like PL picking a player.
I would have let him go in aheartbeat.
The Yankees actually made agood offer.
They made $760 million for 16years, Extra year.
But of course he's making moremoney, Way more money.
We're talking about probablyover $50 million more with the
(03:38):
Mets.
He's still in New York, right.
Of course.
He's still with a team that Idon't see them going anywhere.
Now he's still with a team thatI don't see them going anywhere
.
He is, you know.
Now he's going to be the headof the team.
He's the star of the team,right?
He was always going to be JudgeShadow.
He wasn't going to be who he isnow with the Mets, right.
I don't think they're going toever find another superstar on
(03:59):
top of him for now, but I reallythink think you know, it was
crazy the good thing about mobthere's no cap, so they could go
I always wondered about that,because is there a luxury tax in
the mob, like in the nba, whereonce you go over a threshold it
starts becoming very expensivetoo?
mob is different.
They go as far as they wantwith their contracts, their
(04:22):
offers.
So I'll be honest with you hedid definitely change the market
, but atani was the one thatdefinitely changed at all yeah,
he started.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Atani was 700 yeah, I think for otani it actually
makes sense for all that money,because he's also like he brings
all of japan with him, likethat's, that's a whole country
that comes along with it.
And I had that discussion withchris, well, where we were
basically saying that you knowhis value comes not just from,
(04:50):
like, his superstar stats andstuff, but also because you know
he's representing a wholecountry.
And when they and when you werein the world series, you saw
all of these Japanese viewersjust they said that this is
actually the most like viewsever.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
History was now because honestly was, honestly
it was.
You have new york, la, andjapan, like it's like three
countries bro right thepopulation is crazy.
So everyone was viewing theseuh world series.
Unfortunately didn't go ourroute.
But, dodges, we coming for you,yeah no, absolutely, no,
absolutely, we're going to runit again with Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think the reason why I brought up the Mets too is
because I think at one pointyou, Heidi, had taken you to a
game in the Mets and it wasn'tas intense.
Right, there was no throwing ofliquor and all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Honestly, the Mets game is so boring it's very like
laid back Everybody's just toofrowned.
It's like on where I wassitting, I was like very like
boring you go to.
Yankee Stadium, anywhere yousit, it's like it's always one
enough talking.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's like no, but it's definitely not for kids,
because they, they go crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, for sure, yeah but I'm happy to let Juan Soto
go.
Best of luck, kid.
To be honest with you, we ain'tgetting no rings.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So good luck, buddy, take care no let him go.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Once you leave me, once you leave the yankees, I
say we ain't family, brotherright.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You know, the other day I was coming back from the
airport bringing my significantother back to their place and I
saw all these people kind ofsteering traffic and I was like
yo, what's going on?
And then, um, I got told thatthe ceo of united healthcare got
assassinated and I was like isthis why there was so many
people directing traffic?
(06:34):
That was crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I didn't even know that I'll be honest with you.
In manhattan I saw the video.
I'll be honest with you, thisguy a professional he had I've
never seen.
You know you see videos on newyork city but I've never seen a
gun with a silencer in new yorkcity like in video, like it
looked like a hitman game, to behonest with you, like the
hitman game, yeah, honestly,looked just like it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Like this guy came with a silencer, shot three
times and then left in a bicycleand a city bike right.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He honestly did it really smart.
He went in a city bike.
I think he went 5th to 6thAvenue, then he came back
through 5th and then he wentstraight out through Central
Park.
Why did he go through CentralPark?
There's no cameras in CentralPark.
It's like whoever did this theyreally planned it out right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You know my understanding.
They still don't even have theperson's name.
They have footage, but, Likehis face, His face, but it's
like.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Do you think that's actually him?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It doesn't look like him and I'll be honest, I feel
like the cops are just puttinganything out there right now,
Because you know they got togive results.
It's New York City, Right.
It happened in one of the mostexpensive hotels in the area.
You know we're talking aboutCEO of one of the most expensive
healthcare, so it's like youknow, I do see that the
population is very happy thatthey killed this guy.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
There's a lot of celebration going on because the
fact is that a lot of peoplekind of like look at him and say
, hey, you were part of theproblem why some people weren't
getting insured and you cost thelives of millions.
So whenever people are sayinglike you know, uh, children and
a wife just lost the father andhusband, they're going okay.
But you know, he was the reasonwhy a lot of other people lost
(08:16):
their lives because they weren'tcrazy man.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, that I I mean.
When I saw in the video Ithought it was fake yeah, I was
like whoa new york city right at6.45 am.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
There was a guy that said he almost took a picture of
him right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, it was a guy, a cab driver.
He was trying to follow him.
The guy ended up taking thecity bike, went all over the
city and went straight toCentral Park Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So it seemed like it was very planned.
They found the guy's book bag.
I don't even know.
They found his book bag andthey actually found Monopoly
money in it.
So I don't know if the guy'splaying a game with them, but I
would say the guy definitely didhis thing right.
It seems like it was veryplanned.
It looked like a veryprofessional.
Also, the shooter looked likehe's a professional shooter.
(09:00):
I mean it was very shocking tosee a video like that, a
professional shooter like I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I mean it was very shocking to see a video like
that you know killing someone sohuge like that, right, you know
so, and I think, um, if I don'tremember, if I remember
correctly, I heard somethingabout like a note being left
behind that said something alongthe lines of like on the
bullets, uh, yeah I think it wasI don't know if it was on the
bullets.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
On the bullet was the fan for the other ones.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Uh, no delay, deny and then defend.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, yeah, and that's like it's a message
straight, right, you know it wasa message that he definitely
sent across and Because that'sactually what insurance
companies and attorneys do.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They delay the process, so people get
discouraged from going throughthe process of litigation or
insurance claims.
Then you deny it right and then, worst comes to worst, you
defend it.
So that's like their tacticsand that's what he kind of used.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That was very hurt.
But I will say something.
They definitely knew hisschedule.
It looks like an in-house.
To be honest it looks.
You know we had there's so muchsuspicious going on.
You don't really know what'sgoing on, but I hope they get to
the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You know it's a pretty interesting case, to be
honest with you yeah, and now alot of other ceos from like
these major insurance companiesand you know companies that
don't get the best you knowpublic eye are now afraid.
You know the ceos becausethey're going like what if I'm
next?
So, yeah, now they're.
A lot of them are kind of likeum, I'm under the impression
(10:28):
that a lot of them will beef upsecurity for their ceos and
whatnot.
After this incident, especiallyhow, how the general public
basically took it whereeveryone's just like basically
celebrating the death of thisguy, which is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
But yeah, it's crazy to celebrate someone's death.
For me, yeah, that's that'scrazy.
His reputation must have beenreally bad, oh yeah he must have
had like the most hate.
He should have really been withyou should.
Knowing that he had so muchhate, he should have definitely
had security guards with himyeah up and down.
Definitely, being the ceo, heshould have been and was able to
afford it too, but it'sunbelievable that this guy did
(11:03):
it right in the middle of areally hot city, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Fifth avenue right it's crazy I think another thing
that we have here right is thatthe airline executives are
under fire from the us senatorsfor raising fees on services
like check bags and seatselections.
Us airlines made over $7billion from checkout bag fees
last year.
The Biden administration ispushing for automatic cash
(11:28):
refunds for canceled tickets,but airlines are fighting back
against new regulations and thislegal battle could reshape
airline pricing in the future.
So what do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'll be honest with you.
Me and Heidi travel a lot andit's definitely annoying.
At this point you buy a flightlet's say $500, and then you go
in there and then you got to payfor every little thing.
It's becoming like Spiriteverything Right.
I was just about to sayEverything is like Spirit, the
Spirit airline.
It's the worst service and theywant to charge you for every
little thing.
(12:00):
So they catch you.
It's like a catch.
They put the flights at a goodprice.
You think it's a good price?
Ah, I'm only paying $400.
When you walk out of there,you're paying $600.
The other day my mom flew outand I was like she paid for is
just this is ridiculous at thispoint.
Airlines definitely are takingadvantage.
(12:22):
I feel like they are definitely.
You know, especially you knowwhat happened was that during
COVID, there were a lot ofpeople flying.
Now that COVID is over, what'sstill happening?
It's not so intense, people arejust used to it.
It's more like it's moreintense now.
(12:44):
So what they're doing is thatfor everything they're charging
for you now even to pick a seatthis ridiculous.
You could go all the way to theback to pick a seat another 80,
90 dollars I think that wasanother thing that they were.
Yeah, so they they do with theseats right.
They do it with the seats right.
They do it with the luggageright, of course, for the food,
sometimes they do it for thedrink.
Everything is like every littlething.
(13:04):
They charge you.
You want to upgrade your seat,sometimes it's just one in front
of you extra $85.
I just bought some flights,literally about like two weeks
ago, and just to pick the seatsI had to pay per for me, heidi
Levi, lexi, I had to pay, Ithink it was $85, $75 per person
, wow Plus additionally theticket, and now when you get to
(13:28):
the airport, you got to pay foryour luggage.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
My goodness, what about carry-on?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
No, you got to do carry-on, but on Spirit, if you
do carry-on you got to put itinside like a box, and if it's
bigger Than inside the box yougotta pay $100 For the carry on.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh, my god yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And you see a lot of people Post like on TikTok, on
Facebook, like, hey, you know,we just we didn't, they didn't
let us Go on the flight Becausewe didn't Want to pay the carry
on.
And you and it fits perfectly.
They're like no, it's stickingout.
It could just be like one armsticking out, that's it.
They counted out.
You cannot bring it in.
I actually happened to one ofmy brothers we actually flew to
Texas, right and I kept tellinghim like dude Spirit, it was my
(14:09):
first time taking a survivalflight.
I will never take Spirit, it'sthe worst.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They went in bankruptcy now.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yes, they did file for it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, so I went on.
Spirit and the plane's full,the chairs, the seats
uncomfortable.
Secondly, you're like in theair.
Honestly, it was one of themost scariest flights I've ever
been on Right.
So there was a lot of turbulence.
But you know, I guess the Idon't know the plane was not
built right, I don't know.
So he and my brother, we end upgoing and he actually was
(14:37):
carrying a bag, it was actuallysmall and literally he's about
to go inside with us to theairplane.
When they stopped him at theline they were like, hey, you
come here.
And he's like, yeah, charge him$100.
And he literally like his bagwas really empty.
He, the only reason he broughtthat bag is that's the only bag
(14:57):
he had at home.
So the bag looked big but itwas really empty.
Anyhow, we only stayed for two,three days.
We went to one of my brother'sbecause one of my brother's in
the Army, so we went out thereto Texas.
Then we drove from Texas to OKC.
Wow, yeah, oh my God.
But honestly it was like one ofthe most scariest flights I
ever took with Spirit.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
And that flights I ever take with spirit and that
was the first and last time Iever take a spirit.
It's the worst airline, worstservice and they're really like
taking advantage with theseprices, right you?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
pay what you, uh, you get what you pay for.
Yeah, you know, we do realestate, so we always got
seminars everywhere, right, wealways got to fly out.
We.
One time, the whole team, wewent to detroit with heidi,
right, uh, by the way, i'm'mscared of planes, man.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
As you and Chris witnessed.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Chris was laughing the whole time.
I'm scared of planes, that'sone thing.
I'm scared of heights.
Right, me too.
Me too, I'm scared of heights.
You guys are really calm.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But I'm not scared of the planes.
I'm scared of when I'm goingsomewhere right and I see down
Like I don't like when I'm in aflight I don't really see like
the bottom, I'm just likecruising, so I don't really get
that flight thing.
But when I'm in roller coastersor anywhere where I can see
like the bottom right there kindof if it makes sense, that's
(16:09):
when I get scared yes yeah,especially like in a ferris
wheel or something, when it'sshaking.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You know when it's bad for me, yeah it's when it's
going up I'll start thinking theworst.
Oh, the acceleration yeah, Istart thinking the worst.
I'm like yo, we literally inthe air, oh my god this plane
goes down.
We're done.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think the worst have you ever took a flight when
there's a lightning storm orsomething like that?
I did when I was a kid.
Yeah, it was scary.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
It was scary turbulence and you know, you
started like oh my god, god,please give me one more chance.
You, you start saying crazyprayers in your mind.
I do that all the time, likecome on God, you know I'm like
damn man.
This is like scary.
I went to.
It was funny.
I actually flew out with my momto DR and also to my one of my
friends.
I was actually the best man.
(16:54):
So I had to go.
So Lexi was literally just born.
And that flight, when we werecoming back, my mom was sitting
next to me.
She was like you all right, youall right son Every two minutes
.
Yeah, mom, good, but deep downman, I was suffering.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, for sure, man, I'll be honest with you guys.
Don't fly in spirit.
Worst flight ever.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Which was the best flight that you've taken?
What airline has been probablythe best experience in Europe?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I like the American airline.
I think it's like the chairsare comfortable.
They also, I think, americanairline, the service Delta,
american definitely.
Jetblue is another one I don'tlike.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You don't like JetBlue.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Not at all.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But what was Delta?
Well, I think I would sayAmerican airline.
I think it's the one.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, I was about to say did you ever go on United
Emirates or whatever?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
No, I've never been on that one.
No, I believe that's the nameof it.
I usually go to either Americanor Delta.
Those are the two I always goto.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, those are the two most popular ones, I believe
, yeah.
And then you got JetBlue, whichis a little bit more affordable
, right?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
From what I heard, DR I used to go a lot they always
have delays.
That's like their biggest thingis always having delays.
You know you go and you alwaysdelay two to three hours Like be
ready to be delayed, Like forsome reason they look like they
start getting ready once peoplestart arriving to the plane.
Really, yeah, it's not so badlike Spirit, right, but Spirit
(18:26):
definitely has a really badreputation.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Right, because my significant other.
She travels a lot and she usesJetBlue a lot.
I've never really heard hercomplain about JetBlue, so I
think she's just gotten luckyman yeah she got lucky man yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean everyone gets their own experience, but Spirit
, I think what I'm saying islike the most accurate, because
everyone I see talks aboutSpirit right it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I think what I'm saying is like the most accurate
, because everyone I see talksabout spirit.
Right, so I'll turn you into aspirit.
Yeah, oh my God.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, for sure.
I just want to share guys.
I've been seeing something goodwith the market.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh, yeah, packed open houses.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Guys.
By the way, rates are droppingdrastically.
Reach out to Heidi.
I would prefer Lander.
Heidi buys, I go rascal.
So I've been seeing thatthey're high fives, low six.
I mean you're starting to seethe change with these rates.
So you know how was your?
You had an open house thisweekend yes, we did.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We had one over there in long island and it was in
low island.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
How was it?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
it was crazy, chris can attest to that because there
were so many people coming in.
Chris had gotten there a littlebit earlier than probably like
around 40 minutes early, and hewas setting up and there was
already like four people waitingoutside.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Just following him as well.
Let me ask you a question howmany buyers do you think went on
Saturday?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I think on Saturday we probably had around 45 buyers
or something wow yeah, whatabout on sunday?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
because I know you decided sunday right on sunday.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I know we had less than 40 because we printed out
48 sheets and we only gothalfway through them.
So probably probably aroundlike 20, 25, so 60 to 70 buyers
in total.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Wow, so wow 60 to 70 buyers in total.
Wow, so wow.
60 to 70 buyers in one house,and this is a single family.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Single family yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Wow.
So we're talking about 70buyers.
So look what's going to happen,guys.
Guess what's happening Rightnow we're getting over asking
drastically.
Yeah, why?
Because right now the ratesdrop, right.
So what happens is that itcreates what demand and people
want the house and people startoffering over asking.
So once those rates continuedropping remember we also are in
(20:36):
the holiday month, right.
Usually the holidays is not sobusy because everyone is more
into the holiday spirit really.
So for them to do that.
You know for 60 to 70 buyers.
You know they want to takeadvantage of the market with the
rates yeah, now that you didsay it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, it is winter, you know, and usually you see it
slow down right now, but mygoodness, that was one of the
craziest open houses we've everhad.
I know that you were trying tocall us, but we couldn't even
answer you because we justcouldn't handle it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I knew you guys were going to be busy because that
week I got over 100 calls.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh yeah, we have so many views on Zillow.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
What was the estimate of views you saw?
I saw as far as like 5,000,6,000.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
No, it went up to, I think, around 7,000.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Jesus Christ.
For one house, 7,000 viewers.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
You know, wow.
They're reaching out to us inall types of manners, like
emails, calls, texts.
They were even reaching out toour broker at one point, because
we couldn't handle respondingto all of them.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, the man is real for thathouse oh absolutely.
That's also the importance, likeyou always say, at setting it
at the right price, like a goodcompetitive price.
Just to start off with yeah tomy sellers out there always
price your property right,because the more demand, the
more you're going to sell theproperty right.
I honestly just briefly lookedat my emails.
(22:02):
I saw over 20 offers already onthis property.
The demand is huge on this lowisland, so to all the homeowners
over there, sometimes you wanta price extremely high and what
you do is actually push thebuyers away.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
To be honest with you , and when you have the right
marketing and the right teamthat can help you market and get
the home sold, it's going tosell and a lot of people are
going to come.
We priced it good to sell right.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
We we priced it good to sell.
Right, we priced it at a goodprice, to be honest with you.
No, we priced it to sell.
That's the difference betweenpricing it to stay on the market
and get your luck to try andsee if you get a buyer, and then
pricing it to sell where it'slike it's going to sell no
matter what, and we're going tolet the market decide how well
it's going to.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I got in like so many buyers.
You know, this is the onlysituation that makes me
uncomfortable.
I feel for people because notfor now I got a genuine heart,
so I feel a lot for people.
So I got in a row like a fewbuyers that call me and they
actually like begging me to getan offer, Like they want the
offer to get accepted, andthey're like I just can't, can
(23:02):
you do this, Can you do that?
So maybe your highest and bestright.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So maybe your highest and best.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I met like two verywonderful people over there and
I'm like, with these offerscoming in, it's kind of crazy
because you really feel for them.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You go like this home is perfect for us.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
This is just what we were looking for, and we're like
, oh man, it's going to be tough.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
All I tell all those buyers is some of your highest
and best right, Because we haveto come in and present it to the
sellers.
But some of your highest andbest, and if the house is for
you, it's going to happen.
Guys, I always say that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And if you really want it open house and you
already have an agent, justremember anything that you kind
of find out in the open house,because we've been disclosing
like all the things that camewith the house, like the
conditions that the seller wasputting on the sale price as
well, like selling as is.
You know, solar panels, yeah,open permits and stuff.
Like they need to becomfortable with that.
Some buyers agree to it andthey don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
So you know, I want to say a point out.
There is very big for me to allthose, to all my fellows
realtors, brokers, guys.
I know you guys have this badhabit of sending your buyers to
these open houses.
Guys, be there with your client, you know, it's not just
sending them, it's being part oftheir and helping in this
process, because most of thebuyers don't know what they're
doing.
And that's what we're here forto educate them, guide them
(24:32):
right and to protect them right.
In this case, this houseparticular, we're selling it
with open permit, right.
We're selling it was also asolo panel that has a lease.
We're giving all thisinformation right to the client
because you're not there andthen you're giving us a call and
I find it like you should bethere with your client.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, because we've had some agents.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's just not fair that you just throw them.
It's like throwing someone andI'm sorry to cut you off.
It's like throwing someone in apool that doesn't know how to
swim.
How are you going to feel?
You know, you're going to feellike where you're gonna feel
like where's my, where's mylifeguard?
You know I'm saying where's my.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know, and it's just not fair when I see that
these agents, brokers, like we,don't do that to our clients, we
, we, even if it's an open house, we go and show it to them yeah
, we try our best, but we knowthat things are like busy
sometimes, right, but if you'reable to go with your client, you
should, you should, you shouldnever like try and have your
clients go to an open house bythemselves, especially when it's
(25:27):
such a high-demand home likethat one, where you know there's
just going to be competition.
There's some that you know thathave been in the market for
some time and you know thatthere might not be without it,
especially for those first-timebuyers.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, if you can't go , send one of your fellow, one
of your, one of the realtors inyour company or something, but
is there a first time buyerespecially like, I mean, come on
, because most people, when wetalk to them, you know we could,
and especially if they havetheir realtors right.
That's another thing.
A lot of buyers have this badhabit of calling us while they
already have a realtor.
So why are you hiring thatrealtor?
He's not, you know, giving youthe service the correct way.
(26:01):
Why are you calling me?
Well, my realtor's notavailable, then you want to work
with him.
You know what I'm saying, butthen you know now we're doing
your realtor's job right.
So it's more, go out there andshow your client, your house and
come contact me so I could giveyou all their information and
me and you, me and the otherprofessional.
You know.
All love to all theprofessionals out there, though,
(26:21):
but let's do a better job atshowing these houses where your
client even if it's an openhouse guys go out there, show it
to them absolutely.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I mean, I think the biggest thing that we took away
from packed open houses over andover again, especially in this
one, is that they don't knowwhat we tell them sometimes
because they agree just to like,kind of like, go see the house.
We try to communicate as bestas possible, but then they
they'll go to their agent andthey'll basically tell them I
want the home, submit this offerand stuff.
(26:50):
And then we just go over withthe agent like, okay, we just
want to confirm that they'reokay with this, this and this.
And then the agent kind of goesoh, this Open permit.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
So one thing that we do, that's really good right for
our sellers.
we order the title report and weget a heads up what's going on.
So right, it's good, becauseyou don't want no surprises in
your transaction, right?
So what we do is so it could bea smooth transaction we put
everything out there for theclients and then we let you
decide to do what you would liketo do, knowing that we're
selling the property, we're openpermits, with all this stuff.
(27:20):
Right, we let the client decide.
But you have it upfront.
It's not like you go incontract and wait till the buyer
orders title.
We already have the titlereport for you guys.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right.
So we always a step ahead ofthe whole process.
But to all the buyers overthere, I think the bidding war
is coming back to the market.
Definitely start buying.
I think January February isgoing to be.
It's going to get veryinteresting.
A new president is coming in onJanuary 5th, so let's see what
he does with the market, butit's going to be an interesting
ride.
What I recommend guys go buyyour home soon and buy your
(27:54):
house again.
So make sure you guys buy yourhouse.

Welcome to Sudo with Baez podcast and I'm here with
Angelo Baez, the co-host.
And I'm Alex Baez.
And what an interesting week.
First holidays around thecorner again, yeah.
But damn, Juan Soto man, I ampissed.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
What happened with Juan Soto?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
To be honest with you .
So, juan Soto, you know he cameto the Yankees for a year.
I knew that was going to happen.
To be honest, he came for ayear, he was traded from the
Padres to the Yankees and hesigned the biggest contract
right now, and that will be morethan Even contract right now,
and that will be more than Evenbigger than Ohtani, Unbelievable
.
You know.
I'll be honest with you, Iwould have let him go.
(00:49):
I'm happy the Yankees let JuanSoto go Because you know, with
all respect, I don't think theguy is worth that money.
His outfield is not the best.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
His batting.
You know he does his thing, buthis outfield he's not worth it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
To be honest with you , I mean the Mets man.
Shout out to that Mets owner.
I know he's a billionaire, he'snuts.
Yeah, how much is it?
$765 million for 15 years.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And I believe our coworker, Chris, was saying that
he had a sign-up bonus orsomething like that.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
For $75 million.
Wow, I'll be honest with you.
I see the Mets.
They're trying their best.
They're never going to takedown the Dodgers.
It's one of the hardest teamsto take down to Dodgers.
Right now, they look likethey're going to be the head of
that movie for some time.
Right now.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
They're going to be like a little dynasty forming.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
They're like the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Remember when the Warriors was the dynasty.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Every year they were going to the finals.
That's what I see in theDodgers.
I honestly I'm happy theYankees let him go.
Of course he was a big help,right, did a lot of home runs.
I think he did over 40 homeruns, but he was not worth $765
million.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I heard that Aaron Judge he actually declined a
higher offer to stay with theYankees at one point he's a real
Yankee man.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
He's got to be a Yankee man, die hard Yankee fan
man.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'll be honest.
You said that when you went toYankee Stadium one time, they
went crazy with the liquor andeverything.
Yeah, that's one thing, yankeeStadium man, you guys go in
there.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't suggest bringing your kids, especially
if it's a big time game, like aplayoff game, like a playoff
game, or, you know, yankeesversus Red Sox, yankees versus
Mets, like those games areintense.
Don't bring your kids aroundbecause you know Yankee fans.
They go nuts with these beers.
They just start throwing iteverywhere.
It's funny, right, but thensometimes you just want to watch
(02:40):
the game and just be relaxed,you know.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, not covered with a bunch of alcohol
everywhere.
And you said that you also,heidi.
She's a Mets fan.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, my wife, she's confused.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I've been trying to help her out with this big issue
.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Heidi has with these Mets.
She's confused.
I always tell her that.
That's the bad thing in myhousehold.
My kids are confused.
So, levi, one day he says theYankees, one day he says the
Mets.
And I always get mad at him.
I'm like don't ever say thathere You're a Yankee fan.
We're Yankee fans, hardcore,but I'm happy the Yankees let
him go.
Yankees should start reallyfocusing on free agency.
Start picking up players.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Pitchers right.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Pitchers, first baseman.
I like PL picking a player.
I would have let him go in aheartbeat.
The Yankees actually made agood offer.
They made $760 million for 16years, Extra year.
But of course he's making moremoney, Way more money.
We're talking about probablyover $50 million more with the
(03:38):
Mets.
He's still in New York, right.
Of course.
He's still with a team that Idon't see them going anywhere.
Now he's still with a team thatI don't see them going anywhere
.
He is, you know.
Now he's going to be the headof the team.
He's the star of the team,right?
He was always going to be JudgeShadow.
He wasn't going to be who he isnow with the Mets, right.
I don't think they're going toever find another superstar on
(03:59):
top of him for now, but I reallythink think you know, it was
crazy the good thing about mobthere's no cap, so they could go
I always wondered about that,because is there a luxury tax in
the mob, like in the nba, whereonce you go over a threshold it
starts becoming very expensivetoo?
mob is different.
They go as far as they wantwith their contracts, their
(04:22):
offers.
So I'll be honest with you hedid definitely change the market
, but atani was the one thatdefinitely changed at all yeah,
he started.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Atani was 700 yeah, I think for otani it actually
makes sense for all that money,because he's also like he brings
all of japan with him, likethat's, that's a whole country
that comes along with it.
And I had that discussion withchris, well, where we were
basically saying that you knowhis value comes not just from,
(04:50):
like, his superstar stats andstuff, but also because you know
he's representing a wholecountry.
And when they and when you werein the world series, you saw
all of these Japanese viewersjust they said that this is
actually the most like viewsever.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
History was now because honestly was, honestly
it was.
You have new york, la, andjapan, like it's like three
countries bro right thepopulation is crazy.
So everyone was viewing theseuh world series.
Unfortunately didn't go ourroute.
But, dodges, we coming for you,yeah no, absolutely, no,
absolutely, we're going to runit again with Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think the reason why I brought up the Mets too is
because I think at one pointyou, Heidi, had taken you to a
game in the Mets and it wasn'tas intense.
Right, there was no throwing ofliquor and all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Honestly, the Mets game is so boring it's very like
laid back Everybody's just toofrowned.
It's like on where I wassitting, I was like very like
boring you go to.
Yankee Stadium, anywhere yousit, it's like it's always one
enough talking.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's like no, but it's definitely not for kids,
because they, they go crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, for sure, yeah but I'm happy to let Juan Soto
go.
Best of luck, kid.
To be honest with you, we ain'tgetting no rings.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So good luck, buddy, take care no let him go.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Once you leave me, once you leave the yankees, I
say we ain't family, brotherright.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You know, the other day I was coming back from the
airport bringing my significantother back to their place and I
saw all these people kind ofsteering traffic and I was like
yo, what's going on?
And then, um, I got told thatthe ceo of united healthcare got
assassinated and I was like isthis why there was so many
people directing traffic?
(06:34):
That was crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I didn't even know that I'll be honest with you.
In manhattan I saw the video.
I'll be honest with you, thisguy a professional he had I've
never seen.
You know you see videos on newyork city but I've never seen a
gun with a silencer in new yorkcity like in video, like it
looked like a hitman game, to behonest with you, like the
hitman game, yeah, honestly,looked just like it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Like this guy came with a silencer, shot three
times and then left in a bicycleand a city bike right.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He honestly did it really smart.
He went in a city bike.
I think he went 5th to 6thAvenue, then he came back
through 5th and then he wentstraight out through Central
Park.
Why did he go through CentralPark?
There's no cameras in CentralPark.
It's like whoever did this theyreally planned it out right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You know my understanding.
They still don't even have theperson's name.
They have footage, but, Likehis face, His face, but it's
like.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Do you think that's actually him?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It doesn't look like him and I'll be honest, I feel
like the cops are just puttinganything out there right now,
Because you know they got togive results.
It's New York City, Right.
It happened in one of the mostexpensive hotels in the area.
You know we're talking aboutCEO of one of the most expensive
healthcare, so it's like youknow, I do see that the
population is very happy thatthey killed this guy.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
There's a lot of celebration going on because the
fact is that a lot of peoplekind of like look at him and say
, hey, you were part of theproblem why some people weren't
getting insured and you cost thelives of millions.
So whenever people are sayinglike you know, uh, children and
a wife just lost the father andhusband, they're going okay.
But you know, he was the reasonwhy a lot of other people lost
(08:16):
their lives because they weren'tcrazy man.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, that I I mean.
When I saw in the video Ithought it was fake yeah, I was
like whoa new york city right at6.45 am.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
There was a guy that said he almost took a picture of
him right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, it was a guy, a cab driver.
He was trying to follow him.
The guy ended up taking thecity bike, went all over the
city and went straight toCentral Park Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So it seemed like it was very planned.
They found the guy's book bag.
I don't even know.
They found his book bag andthey actually found Monopoly
money in it.
So I don't know if the guy'splaying a game with them, but I
would say the guy definitely didhis thing right.
It seems like it was veryplanned.
It looked like a veryprofessional.
Also, the shooter looked likehe's a professional shooter.
(09:00):
I mean it was very shocking tosee a video like that, a
professional shooter like I.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I mean it was very shocking to see a video like
that you know killing someone sohuge like that, right, you know
so, and I think, um, if I don'tremember, if I remember
correctly, I heard somethingabout like a note being left
behind that said something alongthe lines of like on the
bullets, uh, yeah I think it wasI don't know if it was on the
bullets.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
On the bullet was the fan for the other ones.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Uh, no delay, deny and then defend.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, yeah, and that's like it's a message
straight, right, you know it wasa message that he definitely
sent across and Because that'sactually what insurance
companies and attorneys do.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They delay the process, so people get
discouraged from going throughthe process of litigation or
insurance claims.
Then you deny it right and then, worst comes to worst, you
defend it.
So that's like their tacticsand that's what he kind of used.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That was very hurt.
But I will say something.
They definitely knew hisschedule.
It looks like an in-house.
To be honest it looks.
You know we had there's so muchsuspicious going on.
You don't really know what'sgoing on, but I hope they get to
the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You know it's a pretty interesting case, to be
honest with you yeah, and now alot of other ceos from like
these major insurance companiesand you know companies that
don't get the best you knowpublic eye are now afraid.
You know the ceos becausethey're going like what if I'm
next?
So, yeah, now they're.
A lot of them are kind of likeum, I'm under the impression
(10:28):
that a lot of them will beef upsecurity for their ceos and
whatnot.
After this incident, especiallyhow, how the general public
basically took it whereeveryone's just like basically
celebrating the death of thisguy, which is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
But yeah, it's crazy to celebrate someone's death.
For me, yeah, that's that'scrazy.
His reputation must have beenreally bad, oh yeah he must have
had like the most hate.
He should have really been withyou should.
Knowing that he had so muchhate, he should have definitely
had security guards with himyeah up and down.
Definitely, being the ceo, heshould have been and was able to
afford it too, but it'sunbelievable that this guy did
(11:03):
it right in the middle of areally hot city, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Fifth avenue right it's crazy I think another thing
that we have here right is thatthe airline executives are
under fire from the us senatorsfor raising fees on services
like check bags and seatselections.
Us airlines made over $7billion from checkout bag fees
last year.
The Biden administration ispushing for automatic cash
(11:28):
refunds for canceled tickets,but airlines are fighting back
against new regulations and thislegal battle could reshape
airline pricing in the future.
So what do you think about that?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'll be honest with you.
Me and Heidi travel a lot andit's definitely annoying.
At this point you buy a flightlet's say $500, and then you go
in there and then you got to payfor every little thing.
It's becoming like Spiriteverything Right.
I was just about to sayEverything is like Spirit, the
Spirit airline.
It's the worst service and theywant to charge you for every
little thing.
(12:00):
So they catch you.
It's like a catch.
They put the flights at a goodprice.
You think it's a good price?
Ah, I'm only paying $400.
When you walk out of there,you're paying $600.
The other day my mom flew outand I was like she paid for is
just this is ridiculous at thispoint.
Airlines definitely are takingadvantage.
(12:22):
I feel like they are definitely.
You know, especially you knowwhat happened was that during
COVID, there were a lot ofpeople flying.
Now that COVID is over, what'sstill happening?
It's not so intense, people arejust used to it.
It's more like it's moreintense now.
(12:44):
So what they're doing is thatfor everything they're charging
for you now even to pick a seatthis ridiculous.
You could go all the way to theback to pick a seat another 80,
90 dollars I think that wasanother thing that they were.
Yeah, so they they do with theseats right.
They do it with the seats right.
They do it with the luggageright, of course, for the food,
sometimes they do it for thedrink.
Everything is like every littlething.
(13:04):
They charge you.
You want to upgrade your seat,sometimes it's just one in front
of you extra $85.
I just bought some flights,literally about like two weeks
ago, and just to pick the seatsI had to pay per for me, heidi
Levi, lexi, I had to pay, Ithink it was $85, $75 per person
, wow Plus additionally theticket, and now when you get to
(13:28):
the airport, you got to pay foryour luggage.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
My goodness, what about carry-on?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
No, you got to do carry-on, but on Spirit, if you
do carry-on you got to put itinside like a box, and if it's
bigger Than inside the box yougotta pay $100 For the carry on.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Oh, my god yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And you see a lot of people Post like on TikTok, on
Facebook, like, hey, you know,we just we didn't, they didn't
let us Go on the flight Becausewe didn't Want to pay the carry
on.
And you and it fits perfectly.
They're like no, it's stickingout.
It could just be like one armsticking out, that's it.
They counted out.
You cannot bring it in.
I actually happened to one ofmy brothers we actually flew to
Texas, right and I kept tellinghim like dude Spirit, it was my
(14:09):
first time taking a survivalflight.
I will never take Spirit, it'sthe worst.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They went in bankruptcy now.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yes, they did file for it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, so I went on.
Spirit and the plane's full,the chairs, the seats
uncomfortable.
Secondly, you're like in theair.
Honestly, it was one of themost scariest flights I've ever
been on Right.
So there was a lot of turbulence.
But you know, I guess the Idon't know the plane was not
built right, I don't know.
So he and my brother, we end upgoing and he actually was
(14:37):
carrying a bag, it was actuallysmall and literally he's about
to go inside with us to theairplane.
When they stopped him at theline they were like, hey, you
come here.
And he's like, yeah, charge him$100.
And he literally like his bagwas really empty.
He, the only reason he broughtthat bag is that's the only bag
(14:57):
he had at home.
So the bag looked big but itwas really empty.
Anyhow, we only stayed for two,three days.
We went to one of my brother'sbecause one of my brother's in
the Army, so we went out thereto Texas.
Then we drove from Texas to OKC.
Wow, yeah, oh my God.
But honestly it was like one ofthe most scariest flights I
ever took with Spirit.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
And that flights I ever take with spirit and that
was the first and last time Iever take a spirit.
It's the worst airline, worstservice and they're really like
taking advantage with theseprices, right you?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
pay what you, uh, you get what you pay for.
Yeah, you know, we do realestate, so we always got
seminars everywhere, right, wealways got to fly out.
We.
One time, the whole team, wewent to detroit with heidi,
right, uh, by the way, i'm'mscared of planes, man.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
As you and Chris witnessed.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Chris was laughing the whole time.
I'm scared of planes, that'sone thing.
I'm scared of heights.
Right, me too.
Me too, I'm scared of heights.
You guys are really calm.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But I'm not scared of the planes.
I'm scared of when I'm goingsomewhere right and I see down
Like I don't like when I'm in aflight I don't really see like
the bottom, I'm just likecruising, so I don't really get
that flight thing.
But when I'm in roller coastersor anywhere where I can see
like the bottom right there kindof if it makes sense, that's
(16:09):
when I get scared yes yeah,especially like in a ferris
wheel or something, when it'sshaking.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You know when it's bad for me, yeah it's when it's
going up I'll start thinking theworst.
Oh, the acceleration yeah, Istart thinking the worst.
I'm like yo, we literally inthe air, oh my god this plane
goes down.
We're done.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I think the worst have you ever took a flight when
there's a lightning storm orsomething like that?
I did when I was a kid.
Yeah, it was scary.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
It was scary turbulence and you know, you
started like oh my god, god,please give me one more chance.
You, you start saying crazyprayers in your mind.
I do that all the time, likecome on God, you know I'm like
damn man.
This is like scary.
I went to.
It was funny.
I actually flew out with my momto DR and also to my one of my
friends.
I was actually the best man.
(16:54):
So I had to go.
So Lexi was literally just born.
And that flight, when we werecoming back, my mom was sitting
next to me.
She was like you all right, youall right son Every two minutes
.
Yeah, mom, good, but deep downman, I was suffering.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, for sure, man, I'll be honest with you guys.
Don't fly in spirit.
Worst flight ever.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Which was the best flight that you've taken?
What airline has been probablythe best experience in Europe?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I like the American airline.
I think it's like the chairsare comfortable.
They also, I think, americanairline, the service Delta,
american definitely.
Jetblue is another one I don'tlike.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You don't like JetBlue.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Not at all.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But what was Delta?
Well, I think I would sayAmerican airline.
I think it's the one.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, I was about to say did you ever go on United
Emirates or whatever?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
No, I've never been on that one.
No, I believe that's the nameof it.
I usually go to either Americanor Delta.
Those are the two I always goto.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, those are the two most popular ones, I believe
, yeah.
And then you got JetBlue, whichis a little bit more affordable
, right?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
From what I heard, DR I used to go a lot they always
have delays.
That's like their biggest thingis always having delays.
You know you go and you alwaysdelay two to three hours Like be
ready to be delayed, Like forsome reason they look like they
start getting ready once peoplestart arriving to the plane.
Really, yeah, it's not so badlike Spirit, right, but Spirit
(18:26):
definitely has a really badreputation.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Right, because my significant other.
She travels a lot and she usesJetBlue a lot.
I've never really heard hercomplain about JetBlue, so I
think she's just gotten luckyman yeah she got lucky man yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean everyone gets their own experience, but Spirit
, I think what I'm saying islike the most accurate, because
everyone I see talks aboutSpirit right it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I think what I'm saying is like the most accurate
, because everyone I see talksabout spirit.
Right, so I'll turn you into aspirit.
Yeah, oh my God.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, for sure.
I just want to share guys.
I've been seeing something goodwith the market.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh, yeah, packed open houses.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Guys.
By the way, rates are droppingdrastically.
Reach out to Heidi.
I would prefer Lander.
Heidi buys, I go rascal.
So I've been seeing thatthey're high fives, low six.
I mean you're starting to seethe change with these rates.
So you know how was your?
You had an open house thisweekend yes, we did.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We had one over there in long island and it was in
low island.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
How was it?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
it was crazy, chris can attest to that because there
were so many people coming in.
Chris had gotten there a littlebit earlier than probably like
around 40 minutes early, and hewas setting up and there was
already like four people waitingoutside.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Just following him as well.
Let me ask you a question howmany buyers do you think went on
Saturday?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I think on Saturday we probably had around 45 buyers
or something wow yeah, whatabout on sunday?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
because I know you decided sunday right on sunday.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I know we had less than 40 because we printed out
48 sheets and we only gothalfway through them.
So probably probably aroundlike 20, 25, so 60 to 70 buyers
in total.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Wow, so wow 60 to 70 buyers in total.
Wow, so wow.
60 to 70 buyers in one house,and this is a single family.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Single family yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Wow.
So we're talking about 70buyers.
So look what's going to happen,guys.
Guess what's happening Rightnow we're getting over asking
drastically.
Yeah, why?
Because right now the ratesdrop, right.
So what happens is that itcreates what demand and people
want the house and people startoffering over asking.
So once those rates continuedropping remember we also are in
(20:36):
the holiday month, right.
Usually the holidays is not sobusy because everyone is more
into the holiday spirit really.
So for them to do that.
You know for 60 to 70 buyers.
You know they want to takeadvantage of the market with the
rates yeah, now that you didsay it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, it is winter, you know, and usually you see it
slow down right now, but mygoodness, that was one of the
craziest open houses we've everhad.
I know that you were trying tocall us, but we couldn't even
answer you because we justcouldn't handle it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I knew you guys were going to be busy because that
week I got over 100 calls.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh yeah, we have so many views on Zillow.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
What was the estimate of views you saw?
I saw as far as like 5,000,6,000.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
No, it went up to, I think, around 7,000.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Jesus Christ.
For one house, 7,000 viewers.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
You know, wow.
They're reaching out to us inall types of manners, like
emails, calls, texts.
They were even reaching out toour broker at one point, because
we couldn't handle respondingto all of them.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, the man is real for thathouse oh absolutely.
That's also the importance, likeyou always say, at setting it
at the right price, like a goodcompetitive price.
Just to start off with yeah tomy sellers out there always
price your property right,because the more demand, the
more you're going to sell theproperty right.
I honestly just briefly lookedat my emails.
(22:02):
I saw over 20 offers already onthis property.
The demand is huge on this lowisland, so to all the homeowners
over there, sometimes you wanta price extremely high and what
you do is actually push thebuyers away.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
To be honest with you , and when you have the right
marketing and the right teamthat can help you market and get
the home sold, it's going tosell and a lot of people are
going to come.
We priced it good to sell right.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
We we priced it good to sell.
Right, we priced it at a goodprice, to be honest with you.
No, we priced it to sell.
That's the difference betweenpricing it to stay on the market
and get your luck to try andsee if you get a buyer, and then
pricing it to sell where it'slike it's going to sell no
matter what, and we're going tolet the market decide how well
it's going to.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I got in like so many buyers.
You know, this is the onlysituation that makes me
uncomfortable.
I feel for people because notfor now I got a genuine heart,
so I feel a lot for people.
So I got in a row like a fewbuyers that call me and they
actually like begging me to getan offer, Like they want the
offer to get accepted, andthey're like I just can't, can
(23:02):
you do this, Can you do that?
So maybe your highest and bestright.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So maybe your highest and best.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I met like two verywonderful people over there and
I'm like, with these offerscoming in, it's kind of crazy
because you really feel for them.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You go like this home is perfect for us.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
This is just what we were looking for, and we're like
, oh man, it's going to be tough.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
All I tell all those buyers is some of your highest
and best right, Because we haveto come in and present it to the
sellers.
But some of your highest andbest, and if the house is for
you, it's going to happen.
Guys, I always say that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And if you really want it open house and you
already have an agent, justremember anything that you kind
of find out in the open house,because we've been disclosing
like all the things that camewith the house, like the
conditions that the seller wasputting on the sale price as
well, like selling as is.
You know, solar panels, yeah,open permits and stuff.
Like they need to becomfortable with that.
Some buyers agree to it andthey don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
So you know, I want to say a point out.
There is very big for me to allthose, to all my fellows
realtors, brokers, guys.
I know you guys have this badhabit of sending your buyers to
these open houses.
Guys, be there with your client, you know, it's not just
sending them, it's being part oftheir and helping in this
process, because most of thebuyers don't know what they're
doing.
And that's what we're here forto educate them, guide them
(24:32):
right and to protect them right.
In this case, this houseparticular, we're selling it
with open permit, right.
We're selling it was also asolo panel that has a lease.
We're giving all thisinformation right to the client
because you're not there andthen you're giving us a call and
I find it like you should bethere with your client.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, because we've had some agents.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's just not fair that you just throw them.
It's like throwing someone andI'm sorry to cut you off.
It's like throwing someone in apool that doesn't know how to
swim.
How are you going to feel?
You know, you're going to feellike where you're gonna feel
like where's my, where's mylifeguard?
You know I'm saying where's my.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know, and it's just not fair when I see that
these agents, brokers, like we,don't do that to our clients, we
, we, even if it's an open house, we go and show it to them yeah
, we try our best, but we knowthat things are like busy
sometimes, right, but if you'reable to go with your client, you
should, you should, you shouldnever like try and have your
clients go to an open house bythemselves, especially when it's
(25:27):
such a high-demand home likethat one, where you know there's
just going to be competition.
There's some that you know thathave been in the market for
some time and you know thatthere might not be without it,
especially for those first-timebuyers.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, if you can't go , send one of your fellow, one
of your, one of the realtors inyour company or something, but
is there a first time buyerespecially like, I mean, come on
, because most people, when wetalk to them, you know we could,
and especially if they havetheir realtors right.
That's another thing.
A lot of buyers have this badhabit of calling us while they
already have a realtor.
So why are you hiring thatrealtor?
He's not, you know, giving youthe service the correct way.
(26:01):
Why are you calling me?
Well, my realtor's notavailable, then you want to work
with him.
You know what I'm saying, butthen you know now we're doing
your realtor's job right.
So it's more, go out there andshow your client, your house and
come contact me so I could giveyou all their information and
me and you, me and the otherprofessional.
You know.
All love to all theprofessionals out there, though,
(26:21):
but let's do a better job atshowing these houses where your
client even if it's an openhouse guys go out there, show it
to them absolutely.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I mean, I think the biggest thing that we took away
from packed open houses over andover again, especially in this
one, is that they don't knowwhat we tell them sometimes
because they agree just to like,kind of like, go see the house.
We try to communicate as bestas possible, but then they
they'll go to their agent andthey'll basically tell them I
want the home, submit this offerand stuff.
(26:50):
And then we just go over withthe agent like, okay, we just
want to confirm that they'reokay with this, this and this.
And then the agent kind of goesoh, this Open permit.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
So one thing that we do, that's really good right for
our sellers.
we order the title report and weget a heads up what's going on.
So right, it's good, becauseyou don't want no surprises in
your transaction, right?
So what we do is so it could bea smooth transaction we put
everything out there for theclients and then we let you
decide to do what you would liketo do, knowing that we're
selling the property, we're openpermits, with all this stuff.
(27:20):
Right, we let the client decide.
But you have it upfront.
It's not like you go incontract and wait till the buyer
orders title.
We already have the titlereport for you guys.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right.
So we always a step ahead ofthe whole process.
But to all the buyers overthere, I think the bidding war
is coming back to the market.
Definitely start buying.
I think January February isgoing to be.
It's going to get veryinteresting.
A new president is coming in onJanuary 5th, so let's see what
he does with the market, butit's going to be an interesting
ride.
What I recommend guys go buyyour home soon and buy your
(27:54):
house again.
So make sure you guys buy yourhouse.
